A few questions:

1. Who made the tent?
Tschum 2P SOSWA (made in Germany by a small family company) https://tschum.de/en/Tschum-2P-SOSWA.html

2. What was the scrapings you used for lighting fire?
Fatwood from dead pine branches ignited with a ferro rod.

3. What type of axe are you using? Weight? Dimensions?
Karelian axe. Homemade - C45 steel and ash handle. 900 grams (including the handle), 8cm cutting edge, 60cm handle, 16.5cm from pole to cutting edge.

4. What type of knife are you using?
A classic nordic knife, offen referred to by the finnish name "Puukko". Homemade - spring steel and birch burl handle. Here is how I made it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKF7oDsugYc&t=713s

5. Did you catch any fish?
No.

6. What animal was the skull from?
Moose.

7. Why do you sometimes hit with the side of the axe instead of the poll?
Keeps the cutting edge away from you're face and the larger surface area makes you less likely to miss. I usually only use the side of the axe in the beginning (when things can be unstable and or I don't need to hit hard).

8. What is you're kuksa/drinking cop made from?
Birch burl. Homemade.

9. What is you're bowl made from?
Birch. Homemade.

10. Can I buy an axe, knife etc. from you?
No.

11. Who made the cooking pot?
It is a modified 2L Pathfinder Bushpot. Only the handle is homemade.

12. What do you do for a living?
Youtube.

13. Where are you? How did you get there?
I am somewhere in Sweden traveling on a Bullitt cargo bike and wild camping. Just getting started - About 5 weeks so far.

14. What if I want to do the same but it is illegal on public land in my country?
Ask land owner for permission, buy land or travel to another country.

15. What do you do to avoid ticks and mosquitoes?
Ticks don't like me and I do nothing to avoid them. Mosquitoes like me but wind, campfire and clothes (long pants and hoodie) helps a lot.

16. What if I have a question that is not included in this video description?
Consider leaving a comment - I read all comments made within the first few days of a new uploade.
